Dear Ivlrs. Hard:
This will acknowledge your letter and resolution of October
la, 1972, concerning additional access to the Northwest Tollway
at Elmhurst Road.
According to our present policy on future interchanges, any
addition to the Illinois Tollway System must satisfy certain
criteria specifically in the areas of Need, capacity, Safety and
Cost Feasibility. Whereas the demand for a full interchange at
Elmhurst Road may be present locally, our preliminary studies
do not indicate that a full interchange would prove feasible.
In this regard, it should be pointed out that main-line traffic
volumes are expected to reach capacity levels in the next 10
years, and any consideration to add additional ramps to the System
without improving the level of service for all Tollway patrons
may not be practical.
We would, however, like to receive copies of your studies so
that we can review their findings with our traffic consultants.
Should there be any changes which affect our projections or
you have additional inputs that may be of assistance, this
information would be most appreciated.
Very truly yours,
1'11. J. Hartigan
Chief Engineer
